Description
In the 15 years since the discovery of top at the Tevatron the data available has reached the point where we can perform in depth examinations of the top quark event sample for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We present a search for a massive quark (t') decaying to Wq and thus mimicking the top quark decay signature. We use the reconstructed mass of the t' quark and the scalar sum of the transverse energies in the event to discriminate possible new physics from Standard Model processes, and set limits on a standard 4th generation t' quark.
